With a never-ending to-do list of emails, client work, promotions, and social media it can be hard making time to get it all done. I'll be sharing my tips for getting organized and my secret formula for being productive every single week as an artist.

I'm excited to announce that starting next week I'll be posting a new Vlog every Wednesday to show you all the cool things I do and the lesson I learn along the way on this crazy full-time artist journey.

Does your Instagram suck hard right now? I promise you this lack of likes has nothing to do with you. After scouring the internet I was able to find a few tips or at the very least credited rumors on how we can get the Instagram gods back in our favor.
